300 win mag tests today--when a good grouping isn't good.

There is a thread on another site about doing testing for long range shooting at 100 yards. There is a lot of talk about being able to decipher 100 yard groups to determine how the load will shoot at much longer ranges. I am not that skilled- I've seen lots of groups that shot tiny little groups at 100 but opened up pretty bad beyond say 300. In my limited experience a load thaat shoots well at 300 will shoot out to 1k.

Yeah--OWC claims that it can be done at close range but I have to hold off for now--it's just too darn expensive to load 30 to 50 rounds for testing purposes. I don't see how you can get anything meaningful out of this cartridge at 100 yds with the results I've had so far.
